Bushnell H2O Binoculars

These binoculars turned my Alaska trip into a front-row wildlife documentary. I spotted eagles like they were auditioning for a close-up, watched whales without squinting, and even saw a bear from a safe distance (emphasis on safe). They’re lightweight enough to hang around my neck without feeling like I’m training for the Olympics, and durable enough to survive being jostled around on a bumpy boat ride. The views? Crystal clear. Honestly, I think I could see Russia if Sarah Palin lent me her deck. If you’re traveling to Alaska (or anywhere wild), these binoculars are a must—because some sights are just too epic to leave blurry.

I purchased these for an Alaskan cruise and was generally quite pleased with them. They were a little heavier than I had anticipated, but the optics were clear and I was able to spot quite a bit of wildlife with them. Yes, you can get less expensive binoculars, but honestly, these will last for years to come. Never had issues focusing and they worked well for me when I removed my glasses. If I had one negative to say, it is about the lens caps. They don't fit tight and are easily bumped off. Thankfully, we just used these on our balcony, but if I was taking them out sightseeing or hiking, I would be worried that the lens caps would easily go missing.

I bought these for wildlife viewing on vacations, especially for our upcoming Alaska cruise. I went with these because of the price and the Bushnell brand reputation. They are known for quality at a budget price. There are cheaper ones out there but I don't trust the quality of unknown brands. These Bushnell's are solidly built with an all metal frame covered in rubber or plastic material. The feel is very nice to hold and easy to grip. I chose the porro prism binoculars because they provide better depth perception than roof prisms. They are a nice compact size and not as bulky as they appeared in the photos. They are waterproof, which is a necessity for rainy locations or anywhere with sea spray. They include a basic carrying case with a strap, a neck strap and a lens cleaning cloth. Setting the adjustments is the same as any standard binoculars. Watch a video about how to adjust binoculars (easy to find on a web search). The small instruction paper that came with these were useless. Adjustment is easy though the focus knob and diopter wheel are very tight. You won't have a problem with that unless you have arthritic fingers like mine. I think young children might also have a hard time focusing them. It might get looser with use. The eye cups adjust for wearing glasses, though I don't need to use my prescription glasses with these. I recommend these as a first set of binoculars for casual sightseeing and animal watching. I deducted one star from my rating because the front lens caps are very loose and fall off as soon as the binoculars come out of the case. They should have included attached lens caps like many other brands have. I won't be surprised if they get lost and I will have to buy replacements.

The view on these H2O 10x42mm Binoculars are superb... very sharp, clear and bright. They are fully multi coated lens... perfect for looking at the night sky or in any low light condition. These binoculars are solidly made. The Bushnell Binoculars are 30.5 oz., have an aluminum construction body with rubber armor that should last for years. The lifetime guarantee is backed by a great Company. I have a collecition of Nikon, Busnell, and Celestron, Carson binoculars over the years and these are among the best. I loved the H2O whole line of binoculars, Some binoculars say they are water proof but these binoculars have WATERPROOF AND FOGPROOF CONSTRUCTION IPX7 rating Finally the neck strap lugs are large so you can easily replace the neck strap to a wider neck strap.

High quality binoculars, easy to use. They are not very small though. So if you’re looking for something easy to stash in a coat pocket, you should find another of their models. I bought 2, one for each of my sons and they love them!

A bit too heavy for what I wanted, backyard quick grab to catch birds and squirrels…good quality tho

Great binoculars. Crisp field of view.

Good binocular but it take almost 2 weeks to receive it

Produit conforme et de bonne qualité

Crystal clear view.verry sharp image It is fully multicoteg optics with waterproof binocular.good for bird and nature watching.

Very nice pair of Porro binoculars the give excellent image quality and feel extremely well built with a nice solid weighty feel in the hand . Bushnell always offer value for money and I think these are one of their better models if your looking for great image quality at a decent price . The only downside I can find is the very very loose fitting objective lens caps that fall off at ever opportunity . That's easily cured by buying a pair of rubber caps on here in size 53.8 -55.8mm for a tenner . The rain guard is fine so that won't need exchanging but if your ordering the binoculars I'd certainly order objective caps at the same time as the originals really are that loose their unusable . But to sum up I'd say for the price you'll not find a better pair of bins than these and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a workhorse pair on binoculars that feel like they'll last a lifetime .

Devolución iniciada. Realmente no sé si es que son así o vienen defectuosos, pero sea cual sea el motivo uno de los oculares está borroso, y no se puede ajustar bien. Al tener sólo una rueda para el ajuste de las dioptrías, por uno ves bien y por el otro fatal. En un principio creía que era un problema de mi ojo y me estaba preparando para irme directamente a revisar la vista, pero mi marido también los probó y fue el mismo resultado. Una pena, pero no me han parecido unos buenos prismáticos. No eran demasiado cómodos para el ajuste de la visión tampoco. Así que basado en mi experiencia, no voy a comprar más de esta marca, tendré que elegir otra para los prismáticos que quiero comprar.
